Blue Tit :: Chapim Azul

Although spring seems to be somewhat delayed this year, the birds in the gardens around St. Andrews are busy around their nests and it is marvellous to hear them from the tree tops. One of the birds I have come across more often is the blue tit, a small bird with a colourful plumage and a quite distinctive melody. I have been trying to get some photos but they seem to become very active at the sight of a camera and chasing them while they fly from tree to tree is rather challenging (as you can see from the photo below… be prepared for a “finding Waldo moment”).

However I thought it would be a great idea to capture their brightness into polymer clay and I made it into my challenge for the 12 polymer projects in 2013 group for April. It was really appealing to work with so many colours and to make the tiny details of their heads, especially for the earrings.
